How I wish I lived in a Jane Austen novel!

I am a restlessness inside a stillness inside a restlessness.

I shouldn't think even millionaires could eat anything nicer than new bread and real butter and honey for tea.

I believe it is customary to get one's washing over first in baths and bask afterwards; personally, I bask first. I have discovered that the first few minutes are the best and not to be wasted-- my brain always seethes with ideas and life suddenly looks much better than did.

It's a beautiful sight to see good dancers doing simple steps. It's a painful sight to see beginners doing complicated patterns.

The one Bach piece I learnt made me feel I was being repeatedly hit on the head with a teaspoon.

The Devil's out of fashion.
